numina - masks for the elemental powers
DESCRIPTION
Numina was the name the Romans gave to the numinous intelligences felt in nature. The Numina were later personified as the Gods and Goddesses. My masks are for communities to use to "give voice" through dance and storytelling to those forces.TRANSCRIPT

Numina:
"An indwelling intelligence or power felt in a particular place, or in the whole world......
The origins of the Roman gods may be the sense of numinous presences underlying all the processes of the natural world."

"When you create within a sacred paradigm you find you are communicating with what is within you - but also has a greater source somewhere else.
You collaborate with something timeless.”
